SISU has issued a voluntary recall of their Dophilus Chewable tablets, due to trace amounts of dairy in what is incorrectly labeled as a dairy-free product. One person has already declared an adverse reaction to these tablets, and others with milk allergy are advised to stop taking the product and to return it to the place of purchase for refund. (from CBC story 7/25/2009)

Everyone's heard the stories...Food allergies, especially in children, are on the rise.

But hearing these cold statistics cannot evoke what it feels like to live with a severely allergic child; How it changes the lifestyle, eating habits, and stress levels in their homes. How leaving home to go on a 'normal' childhood excursion like the beach, park, or play centre can become an event requiring extensive preparation and increased vigilance. To say nothing of going to a restaurant, kids' party or family gathering.

Any of these can be life-threatening events to a kid with anaphylaxis. And no matter how supportive our families and friends try to be, nobody really understands how it feels unless they've lived it.

That is why this blog exists...To begin to build a community for those who don't have one, to offer support and understanding, information and thoughts to one another, with some laughter along the way. Life is a journey, and boy are we on some kind of a trip! Not the one we thought we were signing up for, perhaps, but walking through it all the same. Much nicer to have some friends along for the ride.
